As robots and cobots grow smarter and more connected, manufacturers must make cybersecurity a core part of functional safety by using frameworks like NIST CSF and IEC 62443 to protect people, data, and uptime.

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from digital threats and unauthorized access. It involves implementing measures such as encryption, firewalls, and user authentication to safeguard against cyber attacks and maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. With most businesses increasing their cyber complexity in operations, cybersecurity will need to evolve alongside these operations to prevent exploits and cyberattacks.
